For the Night by Cara Dee
4.25
This is book 15 in Cara Dee's The Games series. This book focuses on Penelope and Nora but we also catch up with everyone else.
In the earlier books, we have seen Pen together with her long-term girlfriend Ella, we have learnt that Ella cheated on Pen and now they are broken up. 💔
Nora is new to Mclean House and she has the biggest crush on Pen, but she doesn't want to push Pen too much. Especially after some interactions where Pen put her foot down and said she was not interested in a new relationship.
I love the dynamic between Pen and Nora. Nora is a br*tty little Swede with s*rvitude tendencies and a love for imp*ct play and B*SM. This works well with Pen, who is a pl*asure d●mme and a s*dist at heart. 🩷🇸🇪
The fact that they take time before they start to play together feels organic to who they are as people.
Pen is one of the founders of Mclean House, so the fact that she wants Nora to enjoy the games even if she can't be her owner/mistress is on par with what we know about this community. Also, this gives us the chance to get to know Ash and as most of us know the next book will be about him and his estranged husband Nathan. 💜
This is quite a short book, less than 200 pages, but it is a perfect bridge between the earlier books and the next ones coming. This book also made me want to start from the beginning again and read everyone's stories again.

Distraction by Kelly Fox
4.5
Hopper and Liam's story did not disappoint. My god does these two melt your heart, as much as a swoony m*rder romance couple can. If you have read the previous books you suspect that Hopper's background is horrific but I didn't think it would be that bad. I just wanted to give him a big hug and say "Hey! You do you and if that entails m*rder, go for it".
Yes, Hopper is a bit of a stalker and maybe that is not the best way to tell someone you like them, but you can't seem to fault his actions. I don't know what that says about me but what I do know is that Liam is not as disturbed by it as he seems. Liam is a pretty level-headed guy even if with the death of his grandfather his world is turned upside down and yes Hopper also plays a big part in this. And no Hopper did not k*ll Liam's grandfather but he was a bit responsible for him losing his job the way that he did.
Even if Liam is a level-headed guy, when it comes to Hopper and the others in the mobster and billionaires group he would walk through fire for them. And I love how his character evolves throughout the book.
This is the last book in the series, but I hope that we will meet some if not all of them in some of Kelly’s other books. I know that this series is placed somewhere in the middle of all of her series so I think there is a high chance for it.
